    Check the descriptive statistics, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, and the tests for normality that you obtained from your analyses (see box to check in “Plots” when using Explore to analyze descriptive statistics of your data). Considering the skewness and kurtosis values, as well as the Shapiro-Wilk’s results (preferred for small sample sizes), did the distribution of scores on either of the dependent variables violate the assumption of

    LITERATURE REVIEW: COMPUTATIONAL MESH AND GRID DEPENDANCY (Technical Report by Vignesh) ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to explain the generation of computational meshes for complex problems having intricate shapes and to study the grid dependency for obtaining accuracy in those problems. In finite element method of numerical computation it is important to divide the domain into a number of simple elements. Some portion of domain may require still smaller elements so that the

    variability of the two groups is about equal. Based on the above, it appears that the assumptions have been met. Assumption 1, that the outcome variable will be normally distributed, is supported by visual interpretation of the histogram and the skewness and kurtosis calculations. The Shapiro-Wilk test, on the other hand, did not support the assumption. However, this could be due to sample size; the bigger the sample, the more accurate the results. This could shed some doubt on the research; to
